Abstract
The first part of the paper dealt with a theory for ionospheric reflection of low frequencies, i.e. of wavelengths comparable to or great compared to the layer thickness. In the present second part various ranges of data are specified and their reflection characteristics are investigated. Metallic-type reflection is found at high electron concentration and dielectric-type reflection at medium electron concentration above a certain frequency limit. In this latter case, the currents in the ionospheric layer have the direction of the terrestrial magnetic field and the propagation in the layer is very peculiar. Some consequences of the theory are discussed with references to observations where possible. Among them there are statements about phase, sign, and Brewster case and possibilities of transmission through a layer. The final section brings some remarks on the theory, mainly on the field-strength quantities introduced. These quantities allow an interpretation which points at a close relationship to Budden's theory.
